<p>He's a 6-7 centre with an average wingspan and below average athleticism. He deserves alot of credit for what he does in the NCAA but he doesn't look like he'll be able to translate to the NBA level. He'll have a good career in Europe.</p>

<p>He's a more polished Hansbrough. I dont see why people dont appreciate him either, i really hope he does go late first round so that my lakers can snatch him up (if not hansbrough). I think that scouts and coaches rely too much on a prospects athleticism and not there overall skill, thats why you saw russel westbrook go before dj augustine in last years draft. Harangody is gonna go to a good team next year as you see happen with many accomplished upperclassmen who get overshadowed by flashy underclassmen. Maybe that has something to do with why the same teams for the most part are in the lottery every single year. Look at the spurs, i know they didnt draft him but roger mason is this type of guy as well as matt bonner and eventually i think james white who is int he d-league is going to inherit the defensive stopper role of bruce bowen (3 or 4 years from now).</p>

<p>I think you're on to something,he is getting shafted a little bit. He deserves more credit for putting up impressive numbers,I'm not saying numbers are everything but they don't lie. He's playing in the Big East that conference has some talent, so the numbers are no fluke. Not saying he's gonna be a star I just feel he should be higher on the board. There's a place for this guy in the league. He should be a first round pick at some point,instead of picking Europeans at the end of the first round that will never play in the U.S.,why not give a hard working guy with a good track record a shot. Just a thought.</p>
